Mark geeks out on musical theatre with our Special Guest Dr. Emily Clark, while Kenny grapples with his avoidance of the Original Broadway Cast Album to Evita - and everyone dives DEEP into the long and winding journey Evita took from the stage to screen and Madonna’s biggest (and best?) film performance to date. Topics include: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Julie Covington, Elaine Paige, money notes, People magazine, Hal Prince, Patti LuPone, Mandy Patinkin, Jonathan Pryce, Oliver Stone, Robert Stigwood, Liza Minnelli (in a blonde wig), Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas, Jimmy Nail, Francis Ford Coppola, politics in filmmaking, REMIXES REMIXES REMIXES, the Golden Globes, Billy Crystal and the Academy Awards, Celine Dione, Barbra Streisand, intense & translated press conferences, brown contact lenses, more handwritten letters, and where Madonna goes from here. It’s another uber-episode and we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Emily Clark - a professor of musical theater at Marymount Manhattan College who’s work focuses on musical theater and celebrity culture. We loved having her join us for the entire conversation on the Casa Rosada!
